CPTA family of aircraft has two branches: conventional take-off and landing (CTOL) and eXtreme short take-off and landing (XSTOL). The XSTOL variant has two sub-variants: the two-engine medium-lift, 100,000lb GTOW (featured on website), and a four-engine heavy-lift, 200,000lb GTOW (not featured on website).
Aircraft, one of the biggest carbon dioxide producers worldwide, do not have a viable alternative. Electric aircraft are slow and extremely short range. Hydrogen powered aircraft have a more normal range but require specialized equipment while still remaining slow and expensive. Synthetic aviation biofuels do exist but are significantly more expensive that fossil fuels.
Once upon a time I would have been ecstatic about the BWB becoming a reality. Now, there is another, a simpler, cheaper to produce and maintain airfoil body that can outperform the BWB/HWB in many areas. It's called the Lifting Fuselage Configuration (LFC). See patent D984,353. Using NASA's PRSEUS composite, it can be built for much less.
Most of the current Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft use tilting propellers or wings acted by servo-motors or actuators which increase the complexity and reduce the failure probability of the propulsion system. The cost of such a vehicle is high and the maintenance operations are complicated.
This project focuses on the design, development, and manufacturing of a small-scale turboprop engine. The goal is to create an efficient and reliable propulsion system using advanced engineering principles and 3D printing.
The engine design includes both axial and centrifugal compressors for optimal air compression. The axial compressor, located at the front,
Using a power source that accumulates isolated charges, gravitational fields (not proven to be a misinterpretation in macrophysics in the ongoing research) are harnessed and then can be used in Atmospheric Control. The atmospheric medium can then be used in propulsion schemes. The development requires several power sources,
Over 1,000,000 people are killed each year during urban disasters. 2,500,000 people will be permanently disabled or displaced, and the affected communities will take 20 to 30 years to recover and billions of dollars in economic losses. If we can reduce the initial response by one day we can reduce the overall recovery by 3 years.
In-flight ice accretion poses a persistent challenge to airplane safety by disrupting wing aerodynamics, leading to increased drag and reduced lift. Ice and snow are common experiences for a large segment of the global population,
Highly capable small UAVs provide substantial business opportunity, especially if allowed to operate in the suburban market. Reliability issues force the use of a safety pilot for each vehicle in operation, which is cost-prohibitive for large scale commercial applications and limits the use of these vehicles to line-of-site (LOS) operation.
PROBLEM: One of the problems with beam scaling systems, as well as command systems, is that the surface-to-air missile must have great maneuverability to intercept an evasive target. As they approach a target, beam-scaling missiles generally must adjust their turns to continue the rate of climb against the target. At high speeds,
